Shadowhunter Ship Shorts

Saphael #1 (Simon and Raphael)

     Simon already couldn't go in the house without getting killed - literally. He really didn't need his first visit back - if there ever was a visit back - to go any less smoothly than the last one had.

     "Hey, Mom, so I know I'm like, already a vampire and stuff, and you kinda want to kill me, but just to let you know that on top of that, I'm also gay."

     Que the throwing of multiple glasses and pots and pans.

     Yep.

     Simon shook the last vestiges of sleep off and sat up, stretching. I'm going to Raphael's, he thought.

====================================

     Up until that point, Raphael thought that he'd done a pretty good job of controlling his emotions. You know - not crushing Simon in a kiss against the wall of his house every damn time he saw him.

     Yeah, he was pretty sure he had that under control.

     But seeing Simon in his nightclothes, his hair rumpled from sleep - he never was going to learn how to be a proper vampire, was he? - was a whole new kind of exquisite.

     And Raphael wanted him. On the spot.

     "Sorry if I woke you," Simon said, walking through the doorway, into the room lit with many means of artificial lighting. The windows were curtained, boarded, covered up, so that no natural light shone through. Not  that any natural light would be shining through, anyway, because it was later than midnight.

     "Woke me? Hardly, I think." Raphael snorted, looking at Simon, and imagining, briefly, what would happen if he were to get as close to him as he wanted to right now. Would Simon back away?

     "What are you looking at me like that for, Raphael? What are you thinking?"

     He asked the question with such bluntness that it startled the answer out of Raphael.

    "If I kissed you right now, would you hate me?"

     He didn't even realize he'd said it until he heard Simon's surprising reply.

     "Hate you? Raphael, that's the reason I came over - I couldn't sleep because I had a dream with you in it, and it was..... Well, we'll just say it woke me up, okay?"

     "Was it bad?" Raphael asked, concerned.

     "No it was good - really good. That's why it stays with me."

     Raphael understood what Simon was hinting at. "It doesn't stay with you if I guess it." He walked closer, dangerously and sweetly closer. "It doesn't stay with you if... it becomes reality." He was so close he could hear Simon's faltering breath.

     "Then I guess it doesn't stay with me," Simon said.

     Raphael kissed him.
